1. A method of diagnosing a machine, comprising:
- transmitting operating parameter data from a plurality of machines to a remotely located control system configured to receive the transmitted data;
storing the received operating parameter data from the plurality of machines on the control system;
selecting at least one test to be performed on the stored data by selecting from a plurality of available tests;
defining a plurality of machine sets by grouping machines of the plurality of machines into different groups based on commonalities amongst the machines in a group; and
selectively executing the at least one test on a machine set of the plurality of machine sets.

Abstract
A system and method for analyzing and providing exception-based reports for machine data. The machine data is relayed to a remote system for automated analysis based on tests and parameters defined by an owner. If any exceptions are detected in the data based on the operator-defined input, output is generated. The output may take the form of exception-based printed or electronic reports, or the exception information may be relayed to a hand held device, preferably maintained by service personnel at the work site.

8. A method of diagnosing a machine, comprising:
-
collecting operating parameter data from a plurality of machines operating at a first work site; transmitting the data to a computer system located at a location remote from the first work site; storing the transmitted data in a storage device of the computer system; defining a plurality of machine sets by grouping machines of the plurality of machines into different groups based on commonalities amongst the machines in a group; associating the stored data with a machine set of the plurality of machine sets based on a source of the data; selecting at least one test to be performed on the associated data; selectively performing the at least one test on a machine set of the plurality of machine sets; and selectively reporting a result based on an outcome of a test of the at least one test. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer based system for diagnosis of a machine, comprising:
-
a storage device storing operating parameter data of a plurality of machines, the storage device being located remote from the plurality of machines; and a processor configured to; define a plurality of machine sets by grouping machines of the plurality of machines into different groups based on commonalities amongst the machines in a group; associate the stored data with a machine set of the plurality of machine sets based on a source of the data; enable the selection of at least one test to be performed on the associated data from a plurality of available tests; selectively perform the at least one test on a machine set of the plurality of machine sets; and report a result of the at least one test if the result indicates a defect in a machine. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
